I was totally annoyed at first, since this is definitely due to my complete inability to take any decent picture, and my constant klutziness. But then, I started to really think about where each picture had come from. It made me approach these memories in a completely different and totally abstract way. Kind of like a guessing game.

Clockwise from top left: A sleepover with some girls from my dorm sophomore year, an ex boyfriend's hand, another mistake photo from the sleepover, a random party from sophomore year, my 20th birthday party, a shot of my little brother Seth, my friend Amy, my friend Olga at Indigo in Eugene, a random party, the top of Courtney's head, on the walk to Autzen Stadium

Instead of just looking at the photos and absorbing the memory, it was fun to look at it and try to work out the memory in my mind. The thought process was more along the lines of “Well that looks like a street…I think that’s a street, definitely at night. When was I taking pictures at night? Oh yeah after I went to dinner at Sauce…what happened after?…AHA!”

That “Aha!” moment makes remembering the memory all the better…

Plus, the collages of these random photos look pretty cool.

So. Long story short: I highly recommend this slightly different route down memory lane.
